Answer:
The current stock price is $21.54
Explanation:
The current price of the share of Knightmare Inc is the present value of all future cash flows receivable from owning stake in the company.
The future cash flows in this sense are the dividends payable by the company in years 1,2 and 3 which are $6.15,$9.05 and $12.25 per share respectively.
The discount factor in this case is given as 1/(1+r)^N where r is the required rate of return of 11.7% and the relevant year of dividend receipt,hence the share price is computed thus:
Year cash flow discount factor PV
1 $6.15 1/(1+11.7%)^1=0.89525 $5.5
2 $9.05 1/(1+11.7%)^2=0.80148 $7,25
3 $12.25 1/(1+11.7%)^3=0.71753 $8.79
Total present value $21.54
